Savegame sync is very good news to me, thank you for sharing, I'll definitely check this out.

Also funny that the GOG client is not working on Linux, but someone else made a client for them.

I wonder who is behind the Heroic Games Launcher project. Are these really just random people from around the world? Strangely enough, I couldn't find much information.

They've done a few interviews if you want to know more about them, this is the most recent one:

Fantastic stuff, this launcher. It can even download and use pre-packaged wine and proton "environments", very similarly to how Steam does it. I'm a very happy new user.

Now this is interesting. I only ever use Steam for games I can't find on GoG (or can't find on a treasure hunt, shall we say) or which I invested a lot of time into and have savegames I want to preserve. Maybe this will help me push past that...

Wow! I need to look into it again on my SD. Tried it at release 2 years ago and the experience wasn't the most streamlined.

I did eventually get Control working, but that's about it.
